Great start in the "part one". It is fast and one has to keep up. I am interested in the ending especially. I am thinking "in the lee" will be tied into part 2. The monster in the mirror; ouch- you nailed it

A month late, but thanks so much for reading. A bit of a manic scribble, the whole series written in about 30 minutes... but I still kinda like how they came out. Thanks again, Brad. Will return the favor someday

I avoid the sea at all costs. Some people love it, but I don't even like the beach next to it, where idiots go to cover themselves in oil and wulith the slightest gust of wind end up looking like a sugared donut!
Then they go for a swim to wash all the sand off and realise that everything else in the sea hates us. All those sharks, swimming knives and things that sting. When will we realise we are not welcome? 😃

Just think of the jellyfish, Lorry, the man-o-wars and so on. When I was a small child we went to the beach on a school trip and hundreds of jellyfish had washed up on shore, just some mass beaching. Even they wanted out of the ocean, ya know? Terrible place.
